They should be blunt about it. Crime is low, it’s an individual tragedy and a community problem, but not a societal defining issue currently. The focus on it is used to distract from more real threats.

The graph below shows the violent crime rate in the US.
Democrats should not say that crime is not a problem. That statement does not resonate with voters.
But...
For an authoritarian regime to use crime as an excuse to deploy American troops against American people is obscene
This is, in fact, the problem.
Thank you for clearing explaining this. I’m way less knowledgeable than you in this field, and it was clear even to me that he was bold faced lying about so much. I don’t understand how they don’t hold him in contempt of Congress, it’s easily proven that he lies under oath.
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.
Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
It is bizarre because honestly, if they really wanted to get away with treating a group of people horribly, starting with folks like Maxwell would be a popular place to start.
I won’t lie, if they had started with the victimizers of children, I’d have given them a bit longer prior to speaking up.
On one hand, it’s really good to be someone who does their best work under extreme pressure and exhaustion, but on the other hand, it also kind of sucks.
So it goes.
Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?
Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.
Justice rarely seems to help victims. 😥
It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.
is everyone just…exhausted
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
Birthright citizenship is plainly stated in the constitution… there’s no decision to be made on it without a constitutional amendment!
I am so, so tired of the absolute gutter Islamophobia I’ve been seeing around lately. The shit people feel comfortable saying out loud is absolutely insane
What do you mean, they are a highly visible group with a large social media presence and everything. They are the opposite of mysterious, they’re highly obvious.
DNC.
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
Damn, you just slammed the revolving door shut there. You’re completely right!
Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?
You’re kidding.
Pope Leo condemns US bombing Iran
Yes, there’s a prohibition on bombing nuclear facilities.
At times like these, one envies the dead.
Seriously though, I’m happy my grandparents didn’t live to see this.
The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.
I hope that AOC introduces an impeachment attempt for this on Monday.
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
“What if we just didn’t commit war crimes?”
If only…
